narrow horizontal lines. No change was observed in the color 

 of the tail. 



Measurements. — Total length, 76 millimeters; snout to vent, 

 34; width of head, 7; foreleg, 9; hind leg, 15. 



Remarks. — This species is allied to Lepidodactylus lugubris, 

 but differs in the following details : There is no groove between 

 the eyes, there is a much larger series of pores, there is a 

 brilliant golden line through the eye, and the first row of chin 

 shields is smaller than the second. From L. Jtabialis it differs 

 in the presence of femoral pores. A second specimen taken 

 at the same locality has a regenerated tail, which is peculiar 

 in its resemblance to that of L. planicauclus. The tail is espe- 

 cially flattened, with a free, serrated, lateral edge, the sides of 

 which are parallel for some distance, and then taper rapidly. 

 It is a male and agrees in all other details with the type. Stej- 

 neger does not state specifically whether pores are present in 

 his species or not, but it is probable that it agrees with L. lugu- 

 bris in this point. A small female specimen from the type 

 locality agrees with the type save in the presence of pores; 

 however, there is a series of somewhat enlarged scales equal in 

 number to the pores in the male. This form is arboreal, and 

 specimens were taken from the tops of felled trees. Changes 

 in colorations and markings occur very rapidly, but the golden 

 line through the eyes is invariable. One specimen, found on a 

 floating branch in the river, was light yellow-green without 

 markings. Ten specimens were collected. 



Emoia ruficauda sp. nov. 



Diagnosis. — Lower eyelid with an undivided transparent disk ; 

 frontoparietal single; interparietal present; supranasals widely 

 separated, bordering nostril; 5 golden yellow lines on the body; 

 tail pale red. 



Type. — No. 1778, adult female. Bureau of Science collection; 

 Bunauan, Agusan Province, Mindanao, June, 1912; E. H. Taylor, 

 collector. 



Description of type. — Rostral forming a straight broad suture 

 with the frontonasal, which is much broader than long; latter 

 in contact with the frontal; frontal wide, little more than half 

 as long as the parietal region; frontoparietal single, inter- 

 parietal small; 4 supraoculars, the second largest; 7 or 8 

 superciliaries ; 2 large nuchals ; nostril pierced between 3 nasals ; 

 7 upper labials, fifth very large; 6 lower labials; 2 loreals; 

 2 superimposed preoculars; 4 much enlarged temporals, the one
